Grilled Danish Kringle Pastry on Arteflame

Introduction

Danish Kringle is a buttery, flaky pastry that becomes absolutely irresistible when grilled on the Arteflame. This method creates a warm, crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender and flavorful. The Arteflame griddle allows for perfect caramelization without burning, making this a delightful way to enjoy a traditional pastry with a grilled twist.

Ingredients

  • 1 Danish Kringle pastry
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/4 cup icing (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

  1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
  2. Place the napkins inside the grill and stack firewood over the top.
  3. Light the paper napkins and allow the fire to build. The grill will be ready for cooking in about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Kringle

  1. Brush the Danish Kringle on both sides with melted butter.
  2. Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar over the top.
  3. Optionally, add chopped nuts for extra crunch.

Step 3: Grill the Kringle on the Arteflame

  1. Place the Kringle on the outer area of the flat cooktop where the heat is perfectly even.
  2. Grill for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  3. Flip carefully using a spatula to ensure even toasting.

Step 4: Finish and Serve

  1. Remove the Kringle from the Arteflame grill.
  2. Drizzle with icing if desired.
  3. Slice and serve warm.

Tips

  • Use a silicone brush to evenly distribute the melted butter.
  • Grill at a lower heat zone to prevent the sugar from burning too fast.
  • Experiment with different nut toppings, such as pecans or almonds.
  • Keep an eye on the pastry as it crisps up quickly due to the high heat.

Variations

  1. Chocolate Drizzle: Melt chocolate and drizzle over the warm pastry for an indulgent finish.
  2. Berry Compote: Serve with a side of grilled mixed berries for a fruity complement.
  3. Maple-Pecan: Replace brown sugar with maple syrup and add crushed pecans.
  4. Caramelized Apple: Grill apple slices on the Arteflame and place them on top of the Kringle.
  5. Spiced Pumpkin: Mix a little pumpkin spice with the butter for a fall-inspired twist.

Conclusion

Grilling Danish Kringle on the Arteflame brings out its rich, buttery flavors while adding a delightful crispness. This easy and quick method ensures a beautifully toasted treat that’s perfect for any occasion.
